I’m interested in travel nursing or travel therapy jobs. How can I be sure that there will always be assignments available?
Flexibility is very important. While we have an abundance of travel jobs available across the country and we do our very best to connect you with the location of your choice, it’s possible that an assignment may not be available in the destination at that particular time. We work with major hospitals and healthcare providers nationwide so we do have a large pool of positions available. That, combined with more than 30 years of healthcare staffing experience, means we’re able to locate specific opportunities that smaller firms do not have the resources to identify. So, tell us where you want to go and we’ll go to work to help you get there. We specialize in travel nursing, travel therapy, as well as travel for other areas of allied health.

How quickly can you locate an assignment for me?
Due to our vast network of hospitals we work with, we’ve identified opportunities in as little as a day. Realistically, it depends on the geographic area you are requesting and the demand for your specialty (travel nursing, travel therapy, advanced practice, etc.). On average, it takes us from one to four weeks from your initial contact with us until you actually begin an assignment. Some of our employees even reserve positions as much as 5-6 months in advance.

What happens when my assignment is completed?
Our priority is to keep you working as often as you would like. During your current assignment it’s important to work with your account manager and determine if you'd like to extend your stay, choose a new assignment from our nationwide network, or take some time off. The choice is yours!

Is there a fee for Aureus Medical's healthcare staffing services?

What type of housing will be provided to me while on my travel assignment?
Aureus Medical’s corporate housing division, AurHomes, is experienced in securing and arranging housing in locations nationwide. Your housing coordinator, along with your account manager, will work together to provide you with high quality, private housing (shared housing may be required in some instances) during your travel assignment. Typically, your accommodations will be a one-bedroom apartment or "extended stay" corporate housing located in an area convenient to the facility. Aureus Medical covers the cost of your rent. Many of the housing providers we use nationwide have amenities such as health clubs, tennis courts, swimming pools, and hot tubs. In some cases, you may select your own housing using our attractive housing allowance.

Can I travel with a friend, relative, or pet?
Of course! A healthcare career in travel nursing, travel therapy, or other field of specialty can be even more rewarding when you have your spouse or a close friend with you to enjoy the experience. And, having your pet along with you can make it feel even more like "home." However, you will be responsible for any pet deposits required by the housing complex, as well as any difference in housing arrangements (upgrades to a 2 bedroom, etc). You will also be responsible for any travel related expenses for your traveling companion. Contact your account manager if you have any special requests.
